Looking for upstream provider with BGP Flow Spec support / RFC 5575
by Pavel Odintsov 04 Oct '15

04 Oct '15

Hello, dear Nanog Community! I'm looking for upstreams with BGP Flow Spec / RFC 5575 support in US (West and East coast are welcome). We have implemented support for BGP Flow Spec traffic filtering in our own open source DDoS detection toolkit and using it on our own MX routers. Works really well. But we are experiencing so much attacks on channel overflow and want to lock part of traffic on upstream's side. Thanks! -- Sincerely yours, Pavel Odintsov

RE: Telus ADSL IPv6 Roll Out

> Looks like Telus is rolling out IPv6 to their ADSL customers. >If the /64 is on the inside (and not part of a larger supernet, say a /48) then there is little cause for celebration, as you will be limited to one (1) IPv6 subnet in the home. /56 PD. /64 assigned to the CPE LAN interface(s). IA_NA is not implemented (yet). Regards, Lee

Bandwidth estimation question
by JoeSox 04 Oct '15

04 Oct '15

I am trying to figure out if our hosting plan has enough bandwidth (currently at 15Mbps, our average webpage is 300kb). One of our members may win a peace prize for scientific work so there may be a media blitz. Does anyone know how much traffic a 'media blitz' (for lack of a better word) generates? I can bump it to 50Mbps but I am not even sure if that is enough. -- Thank You, Joe

Treatment of this scenario by beefing up hardware or hosting plans, or temporarily increasing your metered limit is insufficient. Use a CDN for all static content, all the time. If your site averages low volume, it'll be very cheap. If you get a million page views in the first minute, you'll be glad to pay. Regardless of who is hosting, the host machine is most likely to hit OS/stack equivalents of either Apache Max Clients limits, or Mysql max_connections. It comes down to requests per second, and the memory or compute resources necessary to respond to each of those requests at internet scale. If not arbitrary daemon config limits, then probably the host hardware is crippled well before the link could become saturated, or you'd even surpass a metered rate. For instance https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/pricing/ quotes 8.5 cents/GB for the first 10TB/mo. At 300KB/page view, that's $25 per 1 million page views, and reasonable confidence that the necessary compute resources will be instantly available when the wave hits. The are many CDN services available. Your origin wont even feel it, just use reasonable expiry times. Your hosting company may be able to set up a CDN for you, or set it up yourself: - let your hosted site respond to a new alias like origin.mysite.com - set up the CDN distribution - point your domain's www CNAME to your new distribution Enjoy a worldwide caching reverse proxy with limitless resources, priced per page view. Maybe someone can recommend a IPv6 capable CDN service. --- Dylan Ambauen On Fri, Oct 2, 2015 at 9:11 PM, JoeSox <joesox(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Dylan, > Thanks.

Amazon Cloud Front or any other. A Content Distribution Network will cache your site all over the globe, reducing the load on your own server. I have seen high profile social media personalities draw millions of clicks within minutes of tweeting out something or another, and we can serve it all from a micro AWS instance without any increased load on the origin server. > > Today I use CDNS for all static content. > > --- > > Dylan Ambauen > > On Oct 2, 2015 8:06 PM, "JoeSox" <joesox(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> >> I am trying to figure out if our hosting plan has enough bandwidth >> (currently at 15Mbps, our average webpage is 300kb). >> One of our members may win a peace prize for scientific work so there may >> be a media blitz. >> Does anyone know how much traffic a 'media blitz' (for lack of a better >> word) generates? >> I can bump it to 50Mbps but I am not even sure if that is enough. >> >> -- >> Thank You, Joe

Quick Update on the North American BCOP Efforts
by Chris Grundemann 03 Oct '15

03 Oct '15

Hail NANOGers! After receiving several off-line inquiries about the status of BCOP in North America I think it's appropriate to send a general announcement here. The biggest news here is that the current NANOG Board of Directors has disbanded the NANOG BCOP Committee. The stated rationale for this decision can be found in the minutes from their 2 February 2015 meeting. https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/sites/default/files/BOD-BCOPMinut… As you might expect, I find this extremely disappointing. Our reaction has been twofold: 1) We're moving to a new home. You can now find all of the current documents at http://nabcop.org. Everything is moving forward, despite a bit of jostling. Please jump in and get involved! 2) I'm so disappointed by this decision, and the future course of NANOG implied, that I've decided to run for the NANOG Board of Directors. There's a really great slate of candidates running, so whatever your decision, I highly encourage you to really consider your selections. https://www.nanog.org/elections/2015/BoDcandidates If you have any questions at all, please feel free to email me directly, or send them to bcop-support(a)nabcop.org. See you in Montréal! Cheers, ~Chris

wanted: tool for traffic generation / characteristics / monitoring
by Matthias Flittner 03 Oct '15

03 Oct '15

Dear colleagues, Currently we are looking for a magic tool with which it is possible to generate specific (realistic) traffic patterns between client and server to analyze (monitor) traffic characteristics (jitter, delay, inter arrival times, etc.). It would be good if that wanted tool is not only able to generate different traffic patterns but also is able to collect different traffic metrics over time. So that it is possible to create catchy plots. :) Any hints or links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
